They don’t make stuff like this anymore. Stellar acting, very atmospheric. BBC was good back then. Before the trans wokesters got to them.

I have seen this before, but all were bad prints. I cannot wait to watch them again. I am thinking I remember seeing M. R. James wrote these stories, but I could be wrong. Thank you Shudder for bringing these to your platform.

Wonderful output from the BBC. I love the tradition of "A Ghost Story for Christmas". It's a clever idea and the stories are always, if not scary, quite chilling to be sure.
